Danny was very happy when he came back. It seemed that he had a good communication with the seductress Riley. He smiled at Zach and expressed his thanks again. To be honest, sometimes Danny's politeness is a bit redundant. He is from Grande, so he doesn't need to be like this. But it’s also nice to not take anything for granted.
"Alice, Laura's phone number." Danny took the pot from Alice's hand in a good mood. Alice yelled and ran away happily.
Zach easily took the pot back from Danny's hand. Huanren's cooking skills bring people's desire for a healthy life, so it's better for him not to touch it.
"By the way Danny, when you come back, go to Mercy Hospital and pick up Mr. Donna."
"Oh." Danny seemed unsure and asked supplementaryly, "Should it be earlier or later?"
Zach raised his eyebrows, "You can do it after you finish your work."
Danny understood, nodded, stepped back to the cupboard, and started preparing plates. The troubles in his heart must have been resolved. He was no longer as hasty as yesterday, and his movements were much more brisk.
"Your body is very fragile." Mo stood next to Danny, with a thoughtful look on his face, "These things don't belong to you. Borrowed things will never be yours." Borrowed things? Everything about Huanren is borrowed. His appearance, his behavior, and his influence on the world are all the product of others.
Danny's good mood dropped slightly, and he pursed his lips and looked at Mo, "Is this your first time seeing the Phantom Man?"
"Yes." Mo nodded, then shook his head, "No, what is your relationship with cherubim? In the Republic, I encountered several cherubim."
Danny was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "It doesn't matter."
Zach's eyes were focused on the flipping food, his ears pointed over there, at the conversation. Zach is interested.
"It doesn't matter." Mo seemed a little confused, "In my opinion, you are the same. You are all borrowing other people's bodies to maintain your own existence."
"It's different." Fantasy Danny's tone actually became a little firmer, "Cherubim are aliens under the Holy Lord's faith. I don't belong to any faith."
"It's not different." Mo's doubts disappeared and turned to certainty, "That's why you are weaker than them. They are under the so-called Holy Lord Faith. They have a steady supply of blood from believers. You don't."
Danny's movements froze for a moment, and he frowned and glanced at Mo, who was just explaining the facts, "Huh, what do you know."
"I know they are strong." Mo didn't seem to mind the repulsion in Danny's tone, "Your faith may be a good thing, at least for the cherubim. Under the same belief system, the bodies of believers are unified. "Try to understand, "The ** they obtain are filtered by the teachings of faith. Well, with 'pure' **, the power they can use will be pure and powerful."
Zach raised his eyebrows. He didn't like hearing this. The cherubim were indeed powerful, but they didn't kill one under the siege of him and Crowley. Compare what was once an opposite to the people in your own home, the Grande. Zach didn't like it.
"'Pure' sex brings narrow abilities." Zach gave Danny, who looked gloomy, an encouraging look. "No matter how strong you are, you are still weak. Mo, you don't need to compare like this, it's meaningless."
Mo showed an apologetic smile with a wink, "Sorry. I didn't express myself accurately. Please forgive me. This is not my mother tongue after all. Jin told me about your cooperation. You are not weak. I mean . Your aggression, and, well, endurance are just worse than those of the cherubim." This was no better. Mo smiled and shook his head, "I won't talk anymore." He changed the subject abruptly, "Louise , let’s go to Lister Street when we have time, I’m looking forward to it.”
"It shouldn't be possible today." Louise looked at Zach with searching eyes. "Although Mrs. Donna asked us to delay, we still need to compile a preliminary funeral arrangement plan and send it to them." Just for show. .
Zach nodded, "By the way, people from the studio came to take pictures yesterday (Old Hank's coffin display manual). Do you want a few pictures?"
"Yeah, I'll take it." Louise nodded, "I asked for a few ordinary ones, and the people at the studio said they could send them over in the morning. Put them into the arrangement plan, so that Mrs. Donna has a reason to call back." Louise Si curled her lips, "I don't know what they want to do."
Zach smiled and waved the shovel, "This has nothing to do with us." The shovel stopped halfway, and Zach's eyebrows slowly raised, as if nothing happened.
Alice came back, looking a little nervous. When Zach loaded the plate, he smiled and said, "Let Benjamin go with you."
Zach couldn't hear the voice on the phone in the office upstairs, but Alice's voice was still clear. This is an invitation call. Laura seems to have invited Alice to participate in an activity at their nursery. It sounds like they are going to visit the Port of Marsa (the nursery activity mentioned in the previous volume from Eve’s perspective, a visit to the port) jobs for those kids).
Alice mentioned that Benjamin and Matthew were back, intending to arouse Laura's embarrassment, so that she didn't have to go... Alice still didn't dare to go out and needed to be accompanied. But Laura seemed to be more insistent, and she didn’t know what she said, so Alice could only agree.
"But, but, Laura said that she happened to have something to ask Benjamin..." Alice was a little nervous, "She, she must want to ask about that, that thing..." About aliens. Do you remember that after Zach showed his inhuman side to these five West End children, he once responded to Laura's question to other people in Grande by saying, "You should ask this yourself."
"What does it matter?" Zach smiled, looking indifferent, "Benjamin knows what to say and what not to say."
This is a fact. Zach did not directly reveal to the five children that he was a vampire. He only showed some special abilities. The same goes for Alice. As I said before, Alice told everyone at the dinner table that she didn't tell Laura what she was, a banshee? How unlucky it sounds.
This makes sense. Laura and the others know that Grande is special. Do they need to know more? No need, they are still children.
Alice could only nod, Zach was right. Honest Matthew, if asked by the girl, he would probably tell you everything about Papa Midnight's works (werewolf), the blood of the vampire Gangero, the fragments of consciousness when he was in the wolf body...
"I'm not going." Benjamin shouted as soon as he entered the restaurant.
"There are crabs in Port Massa," Zach replied.
After thinking for a while, Alpha's tongue seemed to move in his mouth. His love for crabs did not seem to be affected by his appetite, "Okay, I'll go."
So simple.
"Ask Matthew to follow." Benjamin raised his eyebrows, with a little expectation in his eyes. Well, I want to share my preferences for food with my wolf cubs.
Zach served the plate with a smile, and Alpha's thoughts had already been seen through him, "You can order some back." Before Benjamin could refute, "I want Matthew to follow me to the cemetery in the morning to select a site for Mr. Donna's grave. "
Benjamin clicked his tongue and was too lazy to reply. (.)
